Bloke Genes

(with a tip of the battered fedora to [livejournal.com profile] dewhitton from whom I stole the term)

I'm forever buying watches. The latest is a big gaudy chunk of 100% genuine plastic wrapped lumpishly around my left wrist as I type this.

It has to be big to contain the photovoltaic cells and the radio receiver for the National Bureau of Standards atomic clock's radio signals, I guess. As for the gaudy part, I suppose that's just because.

It tells me the current time is High FRI p (arrowhead pointing to the word 'save') 5:49 dst 14 6-18 (little picture of a radio telescope) e (three-segment bar graph with all three segments black). I think that means it's suppertime.

In a related development, it has come to my attention that the Subaru Impreza WRX Sportwagon is kinda cool, especially the red ones with manual transmissions.

manual transmission is good! I hate the way manuals are becoming the option instead of the standard.
